Business Firewall Solutions

ITS and SonicWall provide the capacity to stop viruses, ransomware, malware and more before they enter your network. Content and application control tools also direct bandwidth to the most important resources and give you the ability to block spam, unauthorized web activity, or throttle/eliminate access to social media sites if desired.

What Is A Firewall?

A firewall is a network appliance that filters Internet traffic entering and leaving your network. Different brands and models have different filtering protocols; we prefer firewall appliances and services by SonicWall.

SonicWall firewalls utilize both cloud-based and on-box tools to deeply inspect Internet traffic and files quickly and efficiently without slowing down your network. Files can be compared against known threats (signature-based), opened in a sandbox and checked for unknown vulnerabilities, and observed using machine learning before delivering a verdict of good file/bad file.

ITS is proud to offer unparalleled protection and security services through its Silver Medal Partnership with SonicWall. ITS is a premier SonicWall Partner in Iowa and throughout the Midwest. We provide solutions for K-12 schools, colleges and universities, and small- to medium- businesses.

SonicWall’s Capture Advanced Threat Protection provides unmatched effectiveness against ransomware, malware and zero-day exploits. SonicWall extends its physical firewall protection with multiple Capture Engines to provide near real-time signature deployment. The Capture cloud service is the only advanced-threat-detection offering that utilizes multi-layers of sandboxing to analyze suspicious code from websites, attachments and links.

IoT Protection

We commonly receive requests for communication between IoT devices and common network devices and are happy to assist in their installation. The tricky thing about many IoT devices is that they are easy to purchase and easy to install on your network. Some employees might install IoT devices on a corporate network without asking for permission or taking precautions to limit access to the internal network from the outside world.

Proper settings on your IoT devices paired with a firewall can help keep your data inside your network and cyber criminals off your network. A common story that we share when discussing IoT device installation is: “How a fish tank helped hack a casino”. IoT safety and security is important for home users to note as well, as they may be introducing personal information about their children and families to nefarious parties on the web through their IoT devices.

Comprehensive Security and Service

ITS offers firewall service beyond the initial setup and installation. An additional service plan provides updates, attention to alerts and change management for small-medium businesses that may not have staff available to address ongoing firewall needs.
